Football fans up and down the country are donning their suits and booting up their computers.

The latest edition of Football Manager was released on Friday and with it a chance for supporters to guide their team to the top.

It is without a doubt the most popular management simulator game on the market, but its huge in-depth database of players also offers a chance to take a step back, simulate the season and find out how things will turn out.

How Football Manager thinks the Championship will finish

FM 2019 has predicted a tumultuous season for Bristol City , one that will see manager Lee Johnson up sticks for Norwich City and a mid-season slump end any promotion hopes.

The simulation thinks the Robins will finish 12th in the table, enduring another mid-table finish after a bright start to the campaign.

In our simulation, at the end of November, the Robins were as high as third and looked set for a strong play-off challenge.

Yet that high of third also culminated in manager Johnson opting to take the vacant managerial post at Norwich, instantly hitting the Robins' form as they went on a seven-game winless run throughout December.
